Isamu is a lantern-like pendant with a soft, textured shade. Dani Vila and Ester Pujol of Nahtrang Disseny made it in 2010 as a tribute to Isamu Noguchi, the Japanese designer and architect whose work turned raw materials into emotion.
The warm light through its ribboned shade gives a sense of visual lightness.
The Design Story
Nahtrang took Noguchi's example of minimal forms from simple materials and gave the pendant a ribboned shade over a lacquered metal frame. A white polycarbonate diffuser sits inside to soften the source. Carpyen describes the shade as woven silk, and its glow is correspondingly ethereal. The shade comes in white, pearl or olive green, and in three diameters: 53 cm (20.9 in), 77 cm (30.3 in) and 118 cm (46.5 in). Carpyen makes it in Barcelona.
About the Designer
Nahtrang Disseny is the Barcelona studio of Daniel Vila and Ester Pujol, specialists in lighting and furniture. Their philosophy rests on simplicity, function and emotional connection: objects that tell a story and create an atmosphere, linking the person and the piece. Their work is human in scale, accessible and carefully made, and the studio has collaborated with leading international brands.
Why You'll Love It
The sizes change the personality. The smallest is a quiet accent over a table; the middle one holds a room; the largest becomes a sculptural cloud above a long table or stairwell. In every size the surface is textured enough to look interesting by day and glow gently by night. Pearl is the soft neutral, olive green the rare, earthy choice.
Where It's Best Placed
Isamu rewards open ceilings: above a dining table, in a double-height hall or a stair void. It is made for indoor, dry rooms. Have a qualified electrician hang it.
